True, but the processors aren't completely integral with the board, right? So, they can be removed and replaced carefully, assuming it fits all the other parts willl work with it. Considering all that, couldn't you use an 800 MHz G3 in a Pismo?

Yeah, they're almost impossible to find. Bummer, eh? I'd really like to get my hands on the 1GHz model!

Update: So aside from simply building a Pismo, I also want to make it "like-new" condition. This is going to take some work. Question: has anybody been able to remove the scuffs/grease and imperfections on a Pismo case?

Appreciate all the help everyone has given me. When it's all said and done I'll post a guide and some pictures.

One word: Brasso. OK, so it's not a word you'd find in the dictionary, but for the sake of argument, it's a word. I would suggest taking something of similar material and seeing if Brasso (or Silvo, for a more delicate touch) will work.

I have a bottle of auto polish that works great on smooth plastics. The surface of the Pismo has a texture to it so I'm not sure how well it will work. I intend to try anyway and will let you know how it goes.
